Our Touring Past

Hill-n-dale Caravans.
H. Church and Son.
7 Trafford St. East Brunswick. Victoria.

The furniture manufacturer of H. Church and Son started building caravans under the name of Hill-n-dale around 1955 - 56. The name was later sold ( around the mid 1960's I think ) and it was changed slightly to Hill-n-dale by George.

HILANDALE BY GEORGE

This is another van owned by a friend, another I've not been able to convince him to get under cover. It was used as a spare room for visitors but has been unused for several years. He is talking of retiring and doing a bit of caravanning so I'm hoping I can convince him to give the HILANDALE a tart up and put it to use. According to the sticker it is an Explorer model. I particularly like the style of the overhead cupboard and I'm sure it would come up nicely, I just have to keep working on him.
